Next Time We Meet, Remember to Address Me as Lord Soul Sage

Flender's body trembled. This was the second time he had witnessed Tang Hao commit violence in front of him, and each time it was more brutal than the last.

If the last time he beat Zhao Wuji, it could only be described as a slight punishment, but this time, he actually broke Yu Xiaogang's leg.

This whole thing was indeed instigated by Yu Xiaogang, which resulted in trouble. And judging from Tang Hao's words, Yu Xiaogang even lied to him, so he really deserves to be beaten.

But you have to understand that even if Yu Xiaogang is really a piece of trash and not recognized by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his father is still a genuine Titled Douluo and the leader of a sect.

Even he knew about this matter. As a direct descendant of the Three Upper Sects, Tang Hao couldn't possibly be unaware of it, especially since Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple. Yet, he still chose to do it.

This gave Flender a sense of shared sorrow, like the saying "if a rabbit dies, a fox grieves." If Yu Xiaogang felt this way, what about him?

It seems Tang Hao doesn't intend to cause him any trouble, but what about next time? As the former dean and now a teacher, can he guarantee Tang San won't get hurt forever? If Tang San gets injured next time, will this Soul Saint with no background be beaten to death?

At that moment, an idea arose in Flender's mind: he wanted to escape as soon as possible, resign immediately and get away from Tang San. Even if he had to return to Suotuo City to retire, he didn't want to die here.

As for the idea of reporting Tang Hao to the Spirit Hall, he had no such thought. He believed that as long as he showed that intention, he didn't know whether Tang Hao would live or die, but judging from Tang Hao's behavior so far, he and Ma Hongjun would definitely not survive, and even people related to him might die.

Yu Xiaogang's screams still echoed in his ears when Flender saw Tang Hao turn his gaze to him.

"I'm sorry, Your His Excellency Haotian, it's my responsibility that Tang San was injured. I shouldn't have abandoned my post at that time. I accept the punishment."

Flender shuddered, decisively backed down, and looked ready to be dealt with at will.

"Never mind, it's none of your business. But remember this, there won't be a next time."

Tang Hao stared at Flender for a long time without making a move, but instead gave him a warning.

The effect of making an example of someone has been achieved, and it's really not his fault. Throughout the training, because Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, Flender had no say.

Moreover, he can't stay by Tang San's side forever. Even tigers have their moments of weakness. When he's not around, Flender, his teacher, is the best protector.

With Yu Xiaogang as a precedent, even if something happens, he should still fight desperately, right? "Thank you, Your His Excellency Haotian."

Flender breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes involuntarily drifting to Yu Xiaogang on the ground.

Although he doesn't have a good impression of Yu Xiaogang now, they have been companions for twenty years, so it's impossible for him to really ignore him.

"Let's take him down for treatment later."

Tang Hao noticed his gaze and said something indifferently, thus letting the matter drop, but he did not ask him to take Yu Xiaogang for treatment right away.

Although he was furious, he knew that he couldn't kill Yu Xiaogang directly. Moreover, with his strength, it would be easy for him to injure someone without killing them.

"Is Xiao San planning to participate in this year's Soul Master Competition?"

Feeling much better, Tang Hao then remembered the cause of this incident.

"Yes, Tang San really hopes to achieve good results in this Soul Master Competition. One of the most important reasons is that he hopes to see you again."

Flender realized what was going on and said something nice.

Tang Hao paused for a moment, his eyes already reddening beneath his face, which was hidden by the black robe.

Good boy, good son, you still think of him at a time like this. You are worthy of being Tang Hao's son. Your father has let you down.

I'm sorry, Xiao San, but it's not the time for Daddy to see you yet. Young eagles always have to learn to fly on their own. Daddy is proud of you.

"In that case, let's help the Xiao San choose a suitable new teammate so that he can realize his wish."

Tang Hao spoke to Flender in a tone befitting a superior, as if instructing a subordinate.

Flender was taken aback, then gave a wry smile, "Your His Excellency Haotian, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that my abilities are limited, and you know my situation."

"They are all my students. I would be happy if they could shine in the Soul Master Competition. If I could guarantee that they would achieve good results in the next competition, it would not be impossible for them to even compete for the championship. But now, with Zhu Zhuqing missing, I am really powerless to do anything about it."

Hearing his words, Tang Hao frowned. This was indeed a problem, but without revealing his identity, he couldn't really offer much help.

Could it be that he has to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect again? He couldn't guarantee that Ning Fengzhi would help him, after all, they had just had a conflict not long ago.

"I... I can solve this problem..."

The speaker was Yu Xiaogang, who had just recovered.

Even though he was still lying on the ground, his face swollen like a pig's head, and he had lost several teeth, making his speech a little slurred, the excruciating pain in his legs constantly reminded him that he had been beaten by Tang Hao just a few minutes ago.

But he still forced himself to speak despite the pain. Tang San was his only hope, and he had to hold on to him, even if he wanted to kill Tang Hao right now.

Tang Hao gave him a cold look before slowly speaking, "Speak, but I don't want to hear any more bad ideas. You'd better think carefully before you speak about what you can and cannot say."

"Yes."

Yu Xiaogang slowly closed his eyes, hiding the resentment within them. He adjusted his breathing before reopening his eyes.

"Xiao San's best teammate right now is actually on the Royal Fight Team One. As long as we can get Xiao San to become a member of the team, it won't be difficult to enter the Finals."

"The captain of Team One, Yu Tianheng, is my nephew. We have a good relationship, and Qin Ming also comes from the Shrek Academy in Flender. As long as we go to them at the same time, and as long as Xiao San can defeat the control-type Soul Master in Team One and enter Team One, it won't be difficult for Xiao San."

Yu Xiaogang betrayed Flender without hesitation.

He had brought this up many times, but Flender was unwilling to go to Qin Ming, saying that he had already received a great favor by being able to come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and that bringing up this matter again would undoubtedly put Qin Ming in a difficult position.

But now that Tang Hao is here, all he needs to do is present the plan, and even if Flender is unwilling, he has no choice but to do it.

"That's a good idea."

Having learned his lesson from the previous experience, Tang Hao did not agree immediately. Instead, he weighed the options in his mind before nodding.

Meanwhile, Flender stared wide-eyed at Yu Xiaogang on the ground, seemingly unable to believe that these words had come from his mouth.

You should know that he had already clearly refused this matter many times, but unexpectedly, he was betrayed again.

Yu Xiaogang naturally noticed his gaze, but chose to ignore it and continued to look in the direction of Tang Hao. He had to prove that he still had value.

Tang Hao turned to Flender and asked, "So, that's how we'll do it? Any questions?"

Flender withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes, Your His Excellency Haotian."

However, his face was ashen, as if he had eaten shit. How could he dare to refuse? After all, the Soul Power seal on the room had not yet been lifted.

"You too, handle this matter well, and I can forgive and forget. You will still be the Xiao San's most respected teacher."

Tang Hao's expression softened slightly, and he turned his gaze to Yu Xiaogang on the ground.

"Yes, Your His Excellency Haotian, I will definitely do it."

Yu Xiaogang nodded his head happily like a lapdog, as if he had found his master again.

"Alright, that's all for now. I'll wait for your good news."

Tang Hao glanced at the sky, lifted the Soul Power seal, and walked straight out of the office.

Inside the office.

After a few seconds of silence, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

It hurts, it hurts so much. He accidentally moved his leg while he was talking, and now the pain is intensifying.

"Flender, quick, take me to get treatment."

He screamed with all his might, completely unaware that Flender's eyes were now filled with disgust as he looked at him.

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

After shouting a few more times, Yu Xiaogang realized something was wrong, because there were no footsteps and no one responded to him.

He endured the pain and looked up at where Flender had been standing, only to see Flender calmly looking at him with a faint hint of mockery on his face.

"W-what's wrong?"

Yu Xiaogang even stuttered a bit when he spoke. Even if he were an idiot, he would know that things had developed beyond his expectations.

"It's nothing, I just find it a little ridiculous."

Flender's emotions were more stable than ever before, and he looked at Yu Xiaogang with a serious expression.

"Xiao Gang, I've figured something out, and you just reminded me of it. I suddenly remembered that your surname is Yu, the Yu of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Flender took a few steps toward Yu Xiaogang and squatted down in front of him. "I was too good for you before. After I go to see Qin Ming and talk about Tang San, we shouldn't call each other brothers anymore. I'm not worthy."

"I'm just a commoner Soul Saint with no ambition. Please, spare me. Shrek Academy is gone. All I want now is to be a good teacher, okay?"

Hearing his words, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed. He was somewhat flustered, but more than that, he was incredulous. He couldn't believe that this was something Flender would say to him.

"Flender, we are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Flender interrupted him again.

"I know, you mean the ' Golden Iron Triangle ', right? That's not important anymore. Everyone has their foolish moments in their youth, let's just let it go."

"I'm sorry, from now on, no more. I'll explain this to Third Sister myself. Xiao Gang, this is the last time I'll call you that. Please let me go, okay?"

After saying that, Flender got up and walked out the door without waiting for Yu Xiaogang's reply.

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to take you for treatment. As for me, I have to go back now to supervise their training. This is what I promised His Excellency Haotian."

"Also, I'll talk to Qin Ming about Tang San tomorrow. After that, it's up to you. Don't come looking for me again."

Just as he was about to step out of the room, Flender stopped and turned around.

"By the way, Assistant Yu, remember to call me Teacher Flender or Soul Saint next time we meet."

"And you looked just like a dog!"

After saying that, Flender didn't even glance at Yu Xiaogang, whose face was unusually pale. He turned around, laughed loudly, and walked out of the room without ever looking back.
